my brother is a very successful real estate broker in

So we sat down and we went through Trump's planned
to dismantle the deep state, and we didn't talk about this.
I had it on the blog last week, this video.
I know it might have been at the beginning of
this week. I had this video on my blog of
Donald Trump in March of last year talking about how
he would dismantle the deep state, and it is.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It is so good. It's so good. Now do I
think all of them are doable?

Speaker 9 (05:37):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
It actually came out really good. I listened to part
of it.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
Today I have bad news and I had to put
it on the blog, and this one my Jenna brothers
and sisters. I'm just gonna say something. And the only
reason I'm saying it is because if it had to
upset me, you're.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Gonna know it too.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
And I just want to know that somebody on X
just posted the following. And if you're not sitting down,
gen X, if you're not sitting down, you're gonna you're
gonna want to find something to gently collapse into when
I tell you the following. And I did fact check
this just to make sure Purple Rain is closer in
time to World War two than today.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Enjoy your evening. So what happened to me this morning?

Speaker 5 (06:39):
Let me just tell you a little story, a little
tale of woe. I figured I'd start with a tale
of woe Anthony, and then it's all uphill from there.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
You know what I mean. I mean, yeah, yeah, So
I do the same thing every morning.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
I get up, I take my dog, my one hundred
and fifty pound Saint Bernard Jinx, and I let her
out the back door so she can go into the
yard and have her daily constitute and this morning, I
let her out at six o'clock in the morning, and
I go over to do what I do then next,
which is make my coffee, and all of a sudden,
I hear a huge crash outside, and I'm like, what

(07:14):
the deuce? A few seconds later, I hear another crash outside,
So now I have to go investigate.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
Now I am dressed.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
I have on pants and a sweater, but I don't
have any shoes on, so I've got socks on. And
just to set the scene for you on this for
a second, here, we got a lot of snow at
my house, a lot, and my backyard doesn't get much sun,
so I have a lot of snow in my backyard.
It is quite deep, and now it's like frozen on

(07:42):
the top, you know, so it kind of you think
it's gonna hold you in.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
The bit you just slide through. So I have on socks.

Speaker 5 (07:48):
I have a good bit of snow in my backyard,
and I have some mysterious crashing going on. So I
walk out and our deck, we have a second story deck.
That is the deck that I let her out on.
In the kitchen is on that floor and everything, So
I walk out on the deck. I look out just
in time to see a rather smallish but not baby

(08:09):
deer that has gotten trapped in my backyard. And now
you have never seen a Saint Bernard more excited and
happy than my dog this morning, because.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
She was relatively certain this was her new best friend.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
So imagine a Saint Bernard and a deer having the
zuomies around the backyard. So I can't get the dogs
obviously not listening to me because she's got a new
best friend, right, I mean, she's like, Mom, forget about you.
My new best friend is here to play with me,
and we will play play, we will. Now, you gotta
imagine every so often the deer, which normally can get

(08:47):
over the fence, is trying to plant in that snow
and can't get good traction. So every so often the
deer hurls itself at the fence and it just slams
into the fence and this is huge crash, I mean,
and then the deer hits the ground, and then and
then Jinx is chasing, and now here I am.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
I'm in my socks.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
I'm walking through the snow to try and get the dog.
I finally get the dog, I take her upstairs. I
put her inside. She is barking like she's being beaten
because now she's been separated from her new best friend,
and so she's she's, you know, hysterically barking inside. And
I go outside to get this deer out of the yard.
One of my gates to my fence will not open. Fantastic,

(09:31):
so I have to go open the other one that
will open.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Now, at this point, the deer is on the other
side of the yard, in a very large juniper bush.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Okay, first of all, can we all agree that juniper
is the worst plant?

Speaker 6 (09:43):
It sucks.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I hate juniper. I hate it. I've been saying for
ten years.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
I'm ripping the thing out, but then I'd have to
fix the retaining wall, and I don't want to do
that right now. So the deer's in this giant bush
and I'm waving stuff at him and I'm hitting.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
I mean, he's not moving.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
So then I have to crawl into the juniper to
flush the deer out so I can get the deer
into the yard, so then I can flush it into
the out the gate.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I mean, my god, you guys, A.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Long story short, the deer has been in my front
yard all day because now it thinks we're best friends.
And every thirty five seconds, Jinx wanted to be let
back outside. She would go out backside do an inspection,
and the come in looking so absolutely dejected. You've never
seen a sadur dog than this because she had a

(10:32):
best friend but it only lasted like a minute and
a half and she's devastated by this. Oh yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
So how was your day, a Rod, what happened at
your house?

Speaker 6 (10:49):
Nothing that exciting?

Speaker 5 (10:50):
Yeah, lord, it was fantastic. Everything, everything is calm, everything's good.
Got my feet thought out after running around the snow
in my socks.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
But that was my morning.

Speaker 7 (11:05):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
And then I came in and started doing show prep
for the show. Today. On the show, I'm excited.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
At one o'clock, we've got a doctor of pharmacy and
integrative health expert named doctor Swathi Vara Nasidiaz to come
on and talk about some of the side effects of
weight loss drugs. Now, I want to be clear about something.
I am not anti weight loss drug because I know
people who have had just their lives have been absolutely

(11:34):
changed by these medications. But I fear that too many
people are looking at them and not realizing that they
can have very significant side effects. So I want people
to just make an informed decision. So that is what
we're going to do today. We're going to talk at
twelve thirty. Before that to Ed Prather, my favorite realtor.

(11:55):
We're going to get our last check of the real
estate market. Things are very interesting right now, which just
really really interesting.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
So that's coming up at twelve.

Speaker 5 (12:04):
Thirty, and then we are going to talk to a
young reporter from Daily Caller about the Matt Gates nomination.
And man, this is the last twenty four hours have
clearly shown why the Matt Gates pick was.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
Made in my opinion.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
Now, a couple of things have happened to all of
you who are saying on the Common Spirit Health text
line by texting five sixty six. And I know Mandy
Jinks needs a playmate, get another dog. No, no, she doesn't,
she doesn't at all. No, no, no, After Jinks is gone,
it will be years before I have another dog, like

(12:44):
a decade maybe, because I plan on traveling a lot
and I don't want to have to lay anyway. Enough
on that, enough on that, I want to. I don't
want to talk about the Matt Gates thing yet because
we're going to talk to her at two thirty about that.
But I do think that this is And by the way,
if you have not looked at the blog today, you
really should because I have John Fetterman giving the explanation

(13:10):
for the Matt Gates pick.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
And he is so I mean, it's I would describe
it as god tier.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Level trolling, god tier level trolling. And I'm like, dude,
I couldn't have said it better myself. Senator Fetterman, who
knew he was going to become like the mascot for everybody,
Like he's everyone's senator now, you know what I mean,
because he's just he's not afraid to say exactly what

(13:37):
he thinks, even if it is completely different than the
Democratic dog. But and don't get me wrong, I don't
want him to be a president or anything, because I
do think his tendencies lean leftward in a way that
I'm not comfortable with. But I do like the guy,
like I would totally have a beer with that guy.
Who would you have a beer with? You'd have a
beer with John Fetterman.

Speaker 7 (13:54):
Wouldn't you a Rod yes, and then I would have
him give me his one hour analysis of the sweatsuit
because I am torn. I am torn, honestly. I am
a guy that loves to get like to dress up
for the occasion. I don't mind sans tie, but the
full sweatsuit. I gotta get that full hour explanation from

(14:16):
him on what goes into that, if he thinks about
it all, when he thinks about the criticism, the pros
and cons, I.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Got real break out of everything.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
You could ask the man, that's that's your go to
A million the.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
Sweatsuit a million percent. It's the only thing, you know what,
I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 5 (14:32):
I would rather listen to you do a podcast about
that than a podcast on bros and dudes just saying.

Speaker 7 (14:39):
I mean, mind's a money idea. I think everyone wants
to know. I'm sure he's been asked, and I don't
know if he ever thinks about it, but I would
lean fifty one forty nine on you gotta dress up, man,
You're you're representing the people.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Well, you know, I'm kind of married to a guy
who hates to dress up. And I'm not kind of married.
I'm very married to a guy who hates to dress up.
As a matter of fact, if you see Chuck in
a suit, it is because someone has died. He's meeting
a president, and I don't even know what else there
would be. I mean, he'll wear a suit coat and
a shirt, but the whole you know, tie.

Speaker 6 (15:12):
And everything that for him, though, is masterful.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
The sport coat over like a Hawaiian shirt with just
hath buttons undone. No one can tell Chuck that that
doesn't look good because they'd be wrong.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
You have no idea how true that is.

Speaker 6 (15:28):
It's so it's odd.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
He's The thing is is he just truly doesn't care.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
And I think that's John Fetterman. I think he truly
does not care at all what people think.

Speaker 6 (15:39):
About what he says.

Speaker 7 (15:40):
Time getting ready, more time doing business for the people.
I guess, yeah, you know, there you go. I mean,
I wear joggers as often as I can, and I
but I work in radio.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
So you know, I don't know time twa time and place.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Hey to all the people yelling at me on the
text line for the Purple Rain thing, It's like, I
I if I have to.

Speaker 7 (15:57):
Suffer, you have to say no, you deserve every every
now detect about that. That is something you see but
you don't. You know what, Now, I take it back.
I would probably quote sweet that too and say, if
I had to see.

Speaker 6 (16:07):
This, you do too.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Somebody texted I'd have a beer with a deer in
the backyard. Well, it's probably still in my front yard
because now we're best friends. Mandy beer with Ran Paul
or Jason Momoa are both Okay, I've not had a
beer with Jason Momoa, but I actually hung out with
Ran Paul. I got to know Ran Paul when I
lived in Kentucky and I got to hang out with
him at the Kentucky Derby, but in a friend of

(16:29):
his box, so it was like it wasn't any political people.
It was just friends.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
And that is when you get to see the real person.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
And I got to hang out with Rand for a
couple hours during the Kentucky Kentucky Derby and his wife
Kelly is just lovely and he's fascinating to talk to.

Speaker 6 (16:49):
There's just like you to imagine, there's an easy answer
here and it's very current. We how do we say
anyone other than Elon Musk right now?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Seriously? Oh yeah, man, yeah?

Speaker 6 (16:57):
Can we make it a whole day. Please, why, Oh, I.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Have an idea. I have an idea, a rod Okay,
So here's our strategy. And you know what I just said.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Coffee with Stephan Tubbs the other day. He makes documentaries.
He can totally tell us how to pull this off.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
So we are going to.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Pitch a documentary to Elon Musk a Day in the
Life of Elon, and we literally just go and shadow
him for one day, one whole day in his life,
and we find out what it's like to be a
day in the life.

Speaker 7 (17:25):
Of the Lane because he's in SpaceX and Tesla.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
We call it. We simply call it Powering Elon. That's
the documentary title.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
I like that.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
That's the documentary.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Okay, we've got it.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
So now we have a pitch. We just have to
make sure we get it to the right people. And
I have no idea how to do that, but you
know how to find the right people.

Speaker 6 (17:43):
So that's your job.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:44):
So now we're gonna pitch it. I bet you Stefan
would help us. He's made multiple documentaries, the last of
which Fentanel Devastated in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
You've got to watch that one, Okay.

Speaker 5 (17:55):
So now I've gone completely off the beginning of the
show completely. That's okay, that's okay. It's going to be
one of those days. Today when we get back, we
are going to talk to Ed Praether. We're going to
get our final kind of real estate market check if
you've been you know, here's the thing about real estate.
You either own a house, you probably if you don't
own a house, would like to buy a house. If

(18:17):
you own a house, you want to know how much
your house costs, whether or not the market is going
up or market is going down.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Just as a good point of information. It's good to
know that information. So we're going to kind of do a.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
Little bit like that when we get back and talk
about what is happening in the Denver metro market with
with Ed and also on the blog today I have
got it. Today's so good, you guys, it's so good.
It's so good, Ay, Rod. When you see coach Prime
Deon Sanders denying, Oh, I don't want to I don't

(18:50):
want to go to the Cowboys, don't start that.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Don't start that. What is your first thought?

Speaker 7 (18:55):
I am of the belief, with zero substance or any information,
what all to back this thought. I think he would
be well within reason to want to stay it with
the Buffs outside of one scenario, and that is coaching
his son at the pro level. And I have heard
in the past that Jerry Jones loves Shador, and obviously
Jared and obviously Dion played for the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
That is one scenario that is such a small.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
Possibility because of what it would take for Shador to
land there, because they probably won't have the draft capital.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
They'd have to move up and move on from Dak Prescott.

Speaker 7 (19:28):
But if they can make it work, I don't think anyone,
including the Buffs, would blame him if you were to
make that decision. I think it's such a small chance,
so I think it's very very unlikely, but it would
be cool. I mean, I don't think anyone would deny that.
It would be cool, but it's very unlikely. A lot
has to go the right way. They have to move
on from McCarthy too. I know the Cowboys aren't good

(19:49):
this year. I understand that, and Dak Prescott is now
out for probably the rest of the season, and they're
probably gonna move on for McCarthy, but so much has
to happen for that to happen.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
I was just asking do you believe it or not,
because we here at KOA were lied to by prior
coaches saying on these airwaves, I'm not leaving, I'm staying.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
I love it here. And then what was it?

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Forty minutes thirty minutes after that interview, it was announced.

Speaker 7 (20:13):
Well, I don't think he has to He can say
it's not true, and it very well could be that
it isn't. But in the back of his head, everyone
that is asking that question or thinking that question knows
if it's possible for you to go to the Cowboys
and coach Chador, no one's gonna blame you for taking
that opportunity. That'd be awesome. Yeah, that'd be awesome. It'd
be great for him, great for Shador, it'd be really
cool for the entire league.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
All Right, we'll be right back with Ed Pray there
to talk some real estate for a minute or two.
Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 5 (20:40):
He is real estate guru, Ed Prather of the Ed
Pray the team, Ed, welcome back, and I feel like
even since the last time we spoke, things are changing and.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
The market is in flux right now. So let's start
with that big picture view of where the Denver metro
market is right now.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well, absolutely, and thank you as always. I love being
on with you, Mandy. And you know I just sent
you that that latest report.

Speaker 8 (21:07):
We just got our October data and it was really
interesting because the last three or four months we have
seen declines in the median close price, I mean, values
are coming down mostly because we see a flux of
inventory and we see rates remaining stubbornly high. During the
month of October though, we saw an increase and not

(21:27):
a small one at that four point three percent increase
in the median close value across the Denver Metro area.
And a big part of that, I think is it's
a good reminder of just how rate sensitive we are
and not just where rates are today, but how we
feel about where rates are going to be in the future,
because we did see a dip in rates in about
mid September, which I think is a big part of

(21:48):
that surge and activity.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
That we saw in October, and along with that, price
is going up, So.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, don't you think, and obviously this is what
you do every day.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
I think right now, especially people are buying a payment,
they're shopping for a house, but they're buying a payment,
right and when you got interest rates that are hovering
around six and a little above, that payment becomes unmanageable
for some people. And I think you are you seeing
that kind of calculus.

Speaker 8 (22:14):
Absolutely, And it's always been that way, as you can imagine.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
And it's a lot easier when we see values going
up so so fast to have a rate.

Speaker 8 (22:23):
That's half of what it is now, because at the
end of the day, it's how we feel about it. Hey,
is this something that feels like we can sustain in
the long run. And then of course when we underwrite
and go through the lender, there's a debt to income
ratio and not to get too far in the weeds,
but you know, we don't want to be house poor.
And of course when we see values sort of remain

(22:43):
where they're at, you know we've taken some hits. Of course,
we got that push in October and rates remain high,
it's harder and harder to get that equation to make sense.
But like you and I talked about, we've seen activity
really kick up even since October, with rates sort of
bouncing back to higher they than they were at least
in that dip in September.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Let's compare this year November to last year November. Just
give me your impressions in terms of the number of
homes on the market, how quickly homes are selling.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Absolutely, we have seen sort of this not ceiling, but
this level of.

Speaker 8 (23:21):
Ten thousand active units on the market is something that
we haven't seen many years, you know, since like two
thousand and fifteen. So right now, we did we did
have some improvement on absorption, but we're you know, almost
at eleven thousand homes you know, active inventory on the market.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
If we rewind a year, that's probably two or three
thousand less units, and so I think part.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Is really two thousand less last year or two thousand
less this year.

Speaker 8 (23:50):
No, no, no, November twenty twenty three, we would be
a couple of thousand, if not more, you know, around
that sort of eight thousand active inventory on the market,
say at the end of October.

Speaker 2 (24:03):
And so it's a huge, huge difference. And of course,
if we're looking at supply and demand, there's more to
look at.

Speaker 8 (24:10):
You would think that we would have a decrease in
pricing like we did, But now we have this search
and I think it's people wanting to take advantage of
going out and finding the house that works for them,
in getting sellers in many cases willing and able to
help with the closing costs.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
And buying that rate down.

Speaker 8 (24:28):
Coming right back to that payment conversation to make it
work on a monthly and sustainable basis.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
So is this Are we in a buyer's market right now?

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Is that what we're seeing so you can get some
of those concessions? Are you is because it's been a
seller's market? What three years ago it was a seller's market?

Speaker 8 (24:47):
Well, absolutely, and technically speaking, what we want to see
is between four and six months of inventory, and as
crazy as it may sound, at the end of October
we are like three point eight Oh wow, So we're
not We're.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Still not quite there. And there is certainly a narrative
of a housing shortage. It is very very real.

Speaker 10 (25:08):
But certainly as we jump back two or three years ago,
it vastly, vastly is a better environment for buyers because
once again, you know, you get a lot more to
choose from, and with that, there's a much.

Speaker 8 (25:21):
Better likelihood that you're going to get a seller that's
able to help you with some of those costs. And
especially because we're all looking at that same thing. It
is that price point and as it equates to the payment, though,
we need to make that.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Work, especially as rates have kicked up.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
But I'll tell you what you know, since the rates
have dipped, you know, they've bounced back up on us
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (25:40):
But we've seen that that activity continue.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
More people in the market, more showings being set up,
more offers going out, and I think a big part
of that is having some certainty, you know, the election.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Just behind us. We have an idea of what the
future is going to look like.

Speaker 8 (25:53):
And although rates are have kicked up on us now
that the VET is in a cutting cycle, we absolutely believe,
even though it may take longer than we want, the
rates are going to come down.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
Let me ask you this.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
If somebody is and I'm thinking of so many young
people that I know that will say some variation of
I can't afford to buy a house.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I'm never going to be able afford to buy a house.
And I always wonder how you.

Speaker 5 (26:15):
Really investigated it, because I know for a fact that
there are deals to be out in the condo market
right now, and that's entry level housing for a lot
of people, and so what would you say to those
people listening that think, oh, I could never buy a house,
there's no point even paying attention.

Speaker 8 (26:32):
I'm so glad you brought this up, because we just
came across there's a lot of builders and in the
old days. The old day is meaning to say, in
the last five years, most of the time when you
put a builder of property a new property under contract,
it was yet to be built.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Well, now there's extra inventory. And the reason I bring
up builders specifically is.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
Recently, I mean within the last couple of weeks, we
saw the starting rate with the builder at two point
ninety nine. That's a buy down, but it's only going
up to four point nine. And so if we look
at sort of those first time home buyers or folks
that just look at what values have done, there's a
lot of ways to approach this, and especially with the

(27:11):
builders have more the ability a capability to buy down
that rate, and of course they're incentivized to get rid
of their existing inventory, so they're doing that. They're heavily
heavily incentivizing buyers throwing in upgrades, and not that that's
where you need to start and finish, but it's just
an example of sort of the pain in the market

(27:33):
as far as extra inventory sellers in general, and just
trying to incentivize folks to take advantage. So it takes
a lot less money to get into a property like that,
and of course that monthly payment is much different than
you might expect.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
When you're listening to the news and what's.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Going on with race, it sounds like you just need
to people need to just ask the questions because it's
one of the things that is always going to be
true is that when you're paying rent, you are buying
you're just buying it for someone else. And uh yeah,
I mean that's that's the reality of it. It's it's
just that's what it is. At Brather is the guy

(28:09):
I always recommend because he's smart. And are there any
deals to be had right now in the Denver Metro.

Speaker 8 (28:14):
I'm so glad that you brought that up, man, because
you and I talked about that a lot. Yeah, and
I really like, I mean, gosh, with the inventory where
it's at, you can look all over the places there
are deals, Okay, but I really like this little pocket
called three More and it's right around Wadsworth and Yale
on the Denver side of wads and really nice homes,

(28:37):
bigger lots, very cool. In fact, my wife and I
are looking at it a couple of rentals over there
as you see older folks that are you know, the the.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Properties you're changing hands. Just really nice neighborhood. So I
really like that.

Speaker 8 (28:52):
And again, like you and I talked about so many times,
you know, neighborhoods, micro markets that are near adjacent to
some of them entities that our metro area offers, and
so you know, from there, it's easy to get downtown,
easy to get to the mountains, and I think it'll
do well in the long run.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
All right, that's Ed Prather.

Speaker 5 (29:10):
Go to Edprather dot com if you want to talk
to him about what that would look like as the
first time home buyer.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Are you ready to downsize?

Speaker 6 (29:16):
Whatever?

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Edpraither dot com. And I appreciate you man always, Mandy,
thank you. All right, keep it right here on KOA.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
I want to get to this story today, Ayrod, did
you ever tangle with Wyatt's Towing?

Speaker 3 (29:26):
You ever heard of Wyatt's Towing?

Speaker 6 (29:28):
I have heard of Whyatt's Towing yet.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
Yeah, Whyatt's Towing had to be the most hated business
in the Denver metro area because Whyatt's Towing was one
of those companies that drove around looking for people parked
in the wrong place or having an expired tag or
some other reason that they could tow them, and they
would tow them, even if they were towing them when
they shouldn't be.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
But it wasn't just that.

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Whyatt's Towing was vertically integrated, so not only did they
control the towing company, they also controlled things like pound
lots and auction sites to get rid of these cars.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I mean, it was a racket. It was a racket.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
They were finally exposed and the legislature actually put new
laws up around towing which prohibited operators from patrolling lots
and requiring landlords to direct toes themselves, and the Towing
Association backed the new laws because Wyatt's Towing was giving

(30:27):
them such a bad name. So now good news, Why
It's Towing has been sold. They are closed, they are
no more so if you have ever been towed by
why It's Towing, you don't have to worry about that
again because now they have been sold to another reputable
towing company.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
And everybody loves to talk about it.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
I hate a tow truck. But if you need a
tow truck, you want to go to tow company. If
your car breaks down, oh yeah, you love a tow
truck driver. Then I have in my lifetime had that
experience where I parked my car, I went in, had dinner.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
Came out, and my car was gone.

Speaker 5 (31:03):
And your first thought is always oh my god, my
car was stolen, right, it was stolen, And then you
look up and then there's the private parking note no
parking sign that you missed before somehow, and you realize that, yeah,
it cost me one hundred and fifty bucks to get
my car back. And that was in like nineteen eighty

(31:24):
nine roughly, So I can only imagine what they were
doing to these people. So good news, you don't worry
about why it's towing anymore. Sometimes the good guys win.
Not all heroes wear capes, everybody. Not all heroes wear cape.
I don't want to get into this just yet. I
am going to talk in the next hour about yesterday.

(31:45):
When I was perusing the news and Twitter and everything,
I saw that Donald Trump is wanting to use recess
appointments to get some of his cabinet positions through faster,
and I saw a lot of Republicans kind of high
fiving about the strategy, and I am not high fiving

(32:05):
about it, not even a little bit. So we're going
to talk about that in the next hour. But right
now I want to address something that is such a
nonsensical thing because it's already been voted down. Remember when
Central City was considering allowing adult entertainment in Central City,
the young mayor of Central City said, hey, we got
to do something to compete. We got to give people

(32:28):
a reason to come here. So that was voted down.
But there had already been a study commission to find
out what the effect of strip clubs in rural communities
would be, and according to this study, it would increase
police calls by nearly two hundred per year at a
cost of one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Now, the only reason I.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Bring this up because, like I said, it had already
got voted down, so that's not going to happen anytime soon.
The reason I bring this up now is shortly after
the Strip Cup thing died in Central City, Chuck and
I decided to go up to Monarch Casino to go
to the Spa. And I'm sure you've seen the commercials
for the spa on television and we did too, and

(33:11):
we were like, dang, that looks really good.

Speaker 3 (33:12):
So we went up to Monarch to go to the spa,
and neither we're not gamblers.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
We just don't gamble. It's not something that is fun
to me. And so we go up there and we
go to the spa and the.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
Spa is amazing.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
Oh my gosh, it's so good. It is such a
nice spa experience. It is expensive, but it is nice,
and I mean really nice. So we enjoy the Spa.
But then we're supposed to be up there for the weekend,
and so we decided to walk around black Hawk in
Central City because they're right there.

Speaker 3 (33:46):
I mean, it's not even a far walk. So we
walked down.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Yeah, there is nothing to do in Central City or
black Hawk that is not gambling. Even the casinos, they
don't have entertainment, they don't have shows, they don't have anything. Weekend,
I'm visiting my mom and Saturday night a friend of
mine was in town. So we went down to the
Strip and we're just walking around. And if you've never
been to the New York Strip, it is the New

(34:11):
York strip. That was a complete, complete mistake on my
part because I had steak last night for dinner. If
you've not been to the Las Vegas Strip, there's nothing
like it anywhere in the world. There really isn't. And
you walk around and you see just throngs and throngs
and throngs of people. But in Las Vegas you see families,

(34:32):
you see people who are coming in not just to gamble,
or not really to gamble, but to see shows. They've
got the sphere, which is unbelievable, but they also have
all these other things to do. Perhaps if Central City
wants to attract more people, they should address the fact
that there's literally nothing to do there except gamble, because

(34:54):
more people coming to your town, to me, would translate
to probably more gambling. But Central City doesn't need to
worry about gambling anymore. They need to worry about getting
people there. And strip clubs aren't going to do it.
I mean, it's just it's just not going to do it.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Nobody's going to drive there when they can drive to Glendale.
When we get back, we're going.

Speaker 5 (35:15):
To talk for a moment about recess appointments and why
I'm not particularly happy with Donald Trump saying that he
was going to appoint people using recess appointments. As we're
going to get into the details, keep it right here
on KOA.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 6 (35:38):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Connall.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
On FMA.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Got the noyre Andy Connal, Keithing sad bab.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
But welcome to the second hour of the show.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
I've got a guest's coming out to talk about something
that we've talked about quite a bit on this show,
and that is weight loss drugs that are becoming more
and more popular. And I said before, I am not
opposed necessarily to any kind of weight loss help. I
want people to live a happy and healthy life. But
I do want people to make an informed decision about
their choices when it comes to their health. So joining

(36:26):
me now doctor Swathi Veronasi Das. She is a doctor
of Pharmacy an integrative health expert. Doctor Swathy, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 5 (36:37):
Well, you know, it seems like GLP one inhibitors are
the conversation that everyone's having right now, and I know
multiple people personally that have really o their lives changed
by these drugs. But there are also a lot of
side effects that people are not talking about. And I
wanted to kind of bring you on because I want,
as I said, informed decision making is what I'm all

(36:58):
about here. So Swathy, what kind of stuff are you
seeing with these GLP ones.

Speaker 9 (37:04):
So I'm seeing GLP ones probably as often as you're
seeing GLP one, So they're everywhere, and people are really
thinking like, Okay, this is the perfect fit for everyone.
It's a magic bullet that's going to work immediately, and
that perhaps there are no side effects, and so I'm
here to bust those in them.

Speaker 5 (37:22):
Are what are the big things that people need to
watch out for you? What are the side effects that
people should be the most concerned about.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
So I would say there are four.

Speaker 9 (37:31):
The first one is the gasper intestinal issues are the
stomach issues, so that's nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and issues
with the stomach not emptying properly, which could lead to
long term chronic digestive problems. The second one is you
know the way, it's FDA approved right now, it's only
fd approved for certain patient populations. So if you have

(37:53):
a BMI of over twenty seven plus another chronic condition, or.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
If you have a BMI of over thirty.

Speaker 9 (37:59):
But a lot of people who are taking the medication
actually have a BMI lower than twenty seven, and so
we actually don't have the research right now to understand
how the drug from an evidence based informed perspective, how
it works for.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
That patient population.

Speaker 9 (38:15):
The third thing is potential mental health side effects, So
this could be you know, with fatigue, mood swings, and
even more. And then the final thing is accelerated muscle loss.
So when patients are taking this medication, you know they're
taking it, they're losing weight, but they're losing a combination

(38:35):
of that and muscle rather than just that.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
So I just saw today as well, there was a
story in UH I did not grab it for the blog.
I should have that.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
A lot like more than fifty percent of people who
stopped taking these drugs actually gain the weight back.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
Have you seen that as well?

Speaker 9 (38:54):
Yeah, So it's called rebound weight gain, and it's pretty
common with a lot of weight loss medication, inclusive of
the GLP one agnes. So, and that's why the GLP
one agness were FDA proof for long term use, because
you know, if you stop taking it, the chance of
gaining the weight back and potentially more is high.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
So what dietary changes can people make to avoid digestive complications?

Speaker 9 (39:21):
Yeah, so the first thing I would say is to
eat small, more frequent meals and focus on whole foods.
So this is nutrient dense foods that you know are
high protein, high fiber, lots of vegetables. Think about the
perimeter of the grocery store with the produce section with fruits, vegetables,
eating the rainbow, and thinking about whole grains as well.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
Is it easier for people to make healthier choices if
they're not hungry?

Speaker 2 (39:49):
I don't think so.

Speaker 9 (39:50):
I can't think it actually comes down to what people
like to eat, and so it's part of the lifestyle
change when it comes to weight management or weight loss,
rather than immediate thinking, Okay, I'm less hunger, I'm going
to choose things.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
That are healthier.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
Right.

Speaker 5 (40:04):
Is there anything that you can do to preserve muscle
mass while taking a GLP one inhibitor.

Speaker 9 (40:09):
Yes, So we just talked a little bit about nutrition.
I also think it's very important to touch on the
importance of movement, so getting active, going for a walk,
taking your dog for the walk, and also incorporating some
resistance training because that really supports muscle health and also
bone health which leads to longevity. So nutrition and movements
super important. The third thing, because I know we lead

(40:32):
such busy lives, is we want to also think about
supplements in a strategic way. So I have four supplements
that I recommend. The first one is omega three fatty acids,
so that can reduce muscle inflammation and support protein synthesis.
Branch chain amino acids like lucine, which you can get
in a lot of different supplements that can prevent muscle breakdown.

(40:53):
If you feel like you're not getting enough protein powder,
I also recommend a high quality protein powder that could
be way based or plant based depending on your dietary preference.
And then the fourth one is quortotropin. So that's a
natural compound derived from fertilized raw egg yuke and in
clinical trials it showed that it boosted muscle protein synthesis

(41:14):
up to eighteen percent more in patients that were.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Not exercising, and so for those who are on the
go super.

Speaker 9 (41:22):
Busy, fordotropin could be a great way to ensure that
you're preserving muscle. And a supplement out there that you
can consider is called myos MD. MYOSMD currently you can
only get it.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Through your healthcare provider.

Speaker 9 (41:36):
I'm actually on their medical advisory board because once I
looked at the research, I was like, Wow, I have
to get involved in this and really help promote that.
You know, forordotropin can be so beneficial for so many people.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
You mentioned mental health issues. Do these how do these
drugs effect affect your mental health negatively?

Speaker 9 (41:55):
Yes, So, as we're taking these medications and we're losing weight,
you know what comes with that is, you know, body changes,
and so we have to be ready for those changes
in our body and you know, like how we're perceiving
ourselves and how others are perceiving us too. So that's
part of it. The other part is from a physiological standpoint,

(42:16):
as we are, you know, taking these drugs, and the
satiety center, so the center in our brain that has
to do with fullness and everything is actually very close
to the center in our brain that has to do
with reward or the dopamine center. So as we are
impacting the satiety center, how full we're feeling with these drugs.

(42:37):
It also can impact how you know, satisfied or excited.
We are about different experiences inclusive of you know, food
or other things, so that really can impact you know,
the way we're viewing things and some mood swings as
well as fatigue.

Speaker 5 (42:53):
I'm talking with doctor Swathi Varanasi Diaz. She is a
pharmacist and integrative health expert. Doctor Swathie, I appreciate your today,
and I put.

Speaker 3 (43:00):
A link on my blog.

Speaker 5 (43:01):
If you want any more information about what doctor Swathy
was talking about, you can go to the blog and
find it right there.

Speaker 3 (43:08):
Thank you so much for your time today.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Yeah, thank you so much for having me.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
All right, thank you.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
That is doctor Swathy Varanasi ds all right, So that
is a nice foundation, a nice foundation the things to
watch out for. Notice she did not say that these
you shouldn't take these drugs, and I'm not selling these drugs.
I have no vested interest in any of this stuff,
to be clear, I really do just want to make

(43:34):
sure that you guys have all of the information on
all of this stuff so you can make an informed decision.
I strongly recommend you try soda before you do anything else.
But I understand that some people are, you know, have
hunger issues that don't ever go away. So there you go,
all right. I got a bunch of other stuff on
the blog today that I want to get to. This
one is about recess appointments.

Speaker 3 (43:57):
So yesterday and.

Speaker 5 (44:01):
Y'alla loved Thomas Massey and he is a liberty lover
from way back, way back. I mean, there's no doubt
in my mind that Congressman Thomas Massey loves the Constitution
and loves the rule.

Speaker 3 (44:11):
Of law and what that means.

Speaker 5 (44:13):
So I was disappointed yesterday when I saw a video
of him being flippant with the press when they were saying,
do you think Matt Gates will get confirmed? And he goes,
he's your ag recess appointments and just kind of threw
it over his shoulder. I don't like recess appointments. I
don't like them because they're not being used the way

(44:34):
that they were intended when they were put into the
system in the first place. Now, let's go back in
time for just a moment, back when the founding fathers
were writing the constitutions, kind of laying out the framework
of how things were going to work. If there was
an emergency, an urgent situation, It took days, if not weeks,
to gather everybody together in one place. They had to

(44:55):
come from all over. They came on horseback. There were
long periods of time when Congress was not in session,
and the appointment, the recess appointment power was given to
the president with that in mind. Well, we're hardly you know,
we're not always going to be in session, and it
takes so long. He needs to be able to act

(45:16):
on whatever is needed in an emergency situation. The president
should be able to make recess appointments. Well, fast forward
to today. Fast forward to today. The only reason that
we make recess appointments is to avoid Senate confirmation. And
that is because occasionally the Senate is at odds with

(45:37):
the president, and the President wants to get somebody into
a post, and they know that they are going to
be opposed by the Senate, so they try to figure
out a way to do a recess appointment. Now, recess
appointments only last to the first to the beginning of
the next Congress, so for two years right now, if

(46:00):
Matt Gates is confirmed via recess appoint or not confirmed
but given a recess appointment, then his term as Attorney
General would be would have a hard end in two
years when this next Congress coming in was done. Okay,
that's not the reason I hate them. I hate them
because they're used for malfeasance. Now, the reason that the

(46:22):
president is able to appoint the cabinet with the advice
and consent of the Senate is this is another part
of our separation of powers. Right, there's checks and balances
that go on between these three branches, and I think
they're kind of genius.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
I'm not the only one. You may remember.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Back in the day, I remember this President Obama got
his handslapped by the Supreme Court. It was all part
of a course called the National Labor Relations Board versus
Noel Canning. This case challenged the president's power to make
three commissioners. He appointed three commissioners to the National Labor

(47:03):
Relations Board during a very brief recess in the Senate. Now,
those three members were extremely pro labor. They ruled on
a lot of stuff in a very pro labor way,
and Noel Canning sued over it. Well, the court came
back with a decision that was kind of like, I

(47:24):
don't know, for both sides there was things to like
and things not to like. But one thing I want
to point out to you, and this is by my
favorite all time Supreme Court judge. Yes, I have a
favorite all time Supreme Court judge and that was Antonin Scalia.
Because I love the way he loved the Constitution. But
I also love the way he wrote, and he wrote

(47:46):
some really amazing opinions. They're funny, they've got pop culture
references in him.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
They're so good. But I want to read this.

Speaker 5 (47:54):
This is from scotis blog about that case. By the way,
this was a unanimous decision, but Scalia wrote his own opinion.
As Scalia explained in a lengthy statement from the bench
that followed Brier's summary of the court's decision, he and
his three colleagues would have held that the president's recess
appointment's power is substantially more limited than the Court ruled today.

(48:17):
For example, they would have ruled that the president can
only make recess appointments during intercession recesses.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
That means between full a change of Congress.

Speaker 5 (48:29):
So they would have ruled that the president can only
make recess appointments during intercession recesses and only then to
fill vacancies that are created during that recess, and the
majority did not escape Scalia's trademark incisive remarks as he
criticized it for relying on an adverse possession theory of
executive authority.

Speaker 3 (48:48):
And this is a quote. Presidents have long claimed the powers.

Speaker 5 (48:51):
In question, and the Senate has not disputed those claims
with sufficient vigor. So the Court should not upset the
compromises in working arrangements that the alle branches of government
themselves have reached.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
He's absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
This is an incredibly important check and balance and there
is no way Matt Gates makes it through none, zero,
not a snowballs chance in hell. How do I know
because someone asked John Cornyan earlier, and when asked John
Cornyn about it, and let me see if I can
find this.

Speaker 3 (49:26):
Very quickly.

Speaker 5 (49:29):
Cornyn was like, yeah, we're gonna look at the House
Ethics complaint. Oh wait a minute, I forgot. I left
that very important part out I talked to yesterday after
they announced the Matt Gates for ag I hate this.

Speaker 3 (49:41):
I hate it.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
I hate this pic, I really do. Matt Gates has
a lot of baggage that's very un seemly, very unseemly.

Speaker 1 (49:54):
So.

Speaker 5 (49:55):
Matt Gates was being investigated by the House Ethics Committee,
and when it was announced yesterday that Matt Gates was
going to be nominated for Attorney General, he immediately turned
around and resigned from Congress. Now, I'd like to point out,
nobody else that is currently serving, like Senator Marco Rubio,

(50:16):
took such a step, and there's no reason to think
Marko Rubio won't be confirmed.

Speaker 3 (50:21):
Really at this point, there's no reason to think he won't.

Speaker 5 (50:24):
So why did Matt Gates go ahead and resign so
early in the process when the change.

Speaker 3 (50:30):
In power hasn't even occurred yet.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
Many are saying, and this is people in the House
of Representatives, by the way, not just speculative people know.
They are saying that the House Ethics Committee was poised
to release its report on their investigation into Matt Gates
and whether or not he gave drugs and alcohol to
young women, including a naked seventeen year old girl at
a party in Florida. They're supposed to release the results

(50:57):
of that investigation either tomorrow or next week early, very
very soon. But if Matt Gates steps out of Congress,
that ethics investigation stops. It's over because he's no longer
in Congress, and it's not like they're investigating in crime.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Now.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
The Department of Justice did investigate this and came back
and said no charges will be filed. But I gotta
tell you, guys, I don't trust the Justice Department currently
at all, not even a little bit.

Speaker 3 (51:28):
So the fact that this is all going.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
Now, there's lots of conspiracies on X about this, and
I'm just gonna lay these out for you real quick.
One of them is that Donald Trump secretly doesn't like
Matt Gates and just wants him out of his hair.
Or there's the one that says, Matt Gates knew that
this report is going to be horrible, so in order
to spare himself the embarrassment of that, he is going
to drop out of Congress under the guise of running

(51:53):
for Attorney General and then take his name out of
the running for some reason. Still have no reason to
come back to bite him. Greg says on the text line,
Gates resigned to get the process started to name or
elect his replacement.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Uh huh yeah, h sure, sure.

Speaker 5 (52:11):
What if he's not confirmed, Greg, he could go back
to Congress. I mean in theory, Yeah, couldn't he Why
hasn't anybody else? Marco Rubio's from the same state and
he is a US senator. Why hasn't he resigned?

Speaker 3 (52:31):
So I hate this. I don't like this. I am
not happy with this. I'm assuming that if this.

Speaker 5 (52:38):
Does happen that someone will sue and in addition to
the three people that sided with Anton and Scalia, that
they would have made this decision much broader and severely
limited the president's powers.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Because Scalia went on in his decision to.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
Not just say that, he also said, now, just what
I said earlier, Now, this is being used for evil,
not for good. The reasons that this was necessary and
justified in the time of the Founding Fathers no longer
exists because, unfortunately we are perpetually in legislative session now,
something the Founding Fathers could not have imagined.

Speaker 3 (53:15):
So the three that.

Speaker 5 (53:16):
Sided with Scalia have now been joined by Brett Kavanaugh,
Amy Coney, Bear, Amy Coney, what's her name?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Amy Coney, Barrett, Thank you?

Speaker 10 (53:29):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
That was frustrating.

Speaker 5 (53:32):
I think that there's a good chance that this would
not fly and they would dramatically curtail the president's right
to make a recess appointment going forward, and.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
They're right, They're right, this is being abused. I don't
like it.

Speaker 5 (53:48):
DeSantis will put Gates in Rubio's spot if he isn't confirmed.
You overestimate the affection between Ron DeSantis and Matt Gates.
There are a lot of other people that would be
a better choice for DeSantis, and he knows it. Yeah, Mandy,
don't you find it interesting that everybody is focused on
the ag position. I think the notework, the naughty people, Oh,

(54:11):
the naughty people are scared poopless of the justice that
can be done. If not MG, then should have been
mister Holman.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
So let me just ask you this.

Speaker 5 (54:26):
I think that everybody focusing on Matt Gates as Attorney
General is exactly what was intended, one hundred percent what
was intended.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
And I said this yesterday.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
In every set of appointments, there's always that person that
everybody looks at and goes, yeah, they're not gonna make it,
and then all of the negative energy and negative press
gets sucked up focused on that one person and they
become the sacrificial lamb of the group of appointees because
the rest of them just slide through, because hey, at
least they're not Matt Gates, right, am I right? And
I think Matt Gates is the sacrificial lamb. I really do,

(55:03):
Mandy Devil's advocate. If this highly politicized DJ then is
going after Republicans for I don't know what that means,
won't level charges, what's not to say? The Health Ethics
Committee isn't a witch hunt? Whatever happened to innocent until
proven guilty? House Ethics Committee? You're right, You're absolutely right.

(55:25):
But we're going to see what they have to say,
maybe because John Cornan Senator Jorn Corny said, yeah, we'll
look at everything. You have to understand, Matt Gaetz is
not liked in the House of Representatives, he's not liked
in the Senate, and to some of you that's a
badge of honor. But when you have to work within
the system to get something done, and you're going to

(55:45):
find out exactly how much you probably should have been
nicer to at least some of them than you previously were.

Speaker 3 (55:52):
Still no word on RFK.

Speaker 5 (55:54):
Junior spot says this Texter nine, and I don't know.
I don't know what's going to happen there. When back
we're going to talk about something other than politics, and
it is going to be let's see here, good news,
good news about opioid deaths.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
We're going to talk about that for a minute. Keep
it right here on Kowa. Purple rain is closer in
time to World War Two than today. And yeah, A
fact checked it. It hurt hurt me deep inside.

Speaker 6 (56:24):
Hurt me.

Speaker 5 (56:25):
Good news on the opioid death front, well sort of,
Colorado being one of the few outliers, opioid deaths have
dropped dramatically in the last year.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
And I say dramatically.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
I happen to think an eighteen percent drop is a
pretty dramatic drop, except.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
We are not part of it.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
Our change in overdose deaths, and I'm referencing an Axios
story from September twenty sixth here is that our rate
grew by four percent in Colorado.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
Even as the rest of the nation is dropping quite significantly.
So you know this is sad.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
Denver accounts for nearly a fifth of all drug related
deaths in Colorado. Between twenty twenty and twenty twenty two,
five hundred and ninety eight people in Denver died from
overdoses linked to opioids in the last year. That's a
twenty two percent spike from twenty twenty two. Now, how
are they lowering healthcare or opioid overdoses outside of Colorado

(57:34):
while they are going up inside Colorado?

Speaker 3 (57:37):
And there's a really sad reason. One reason.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
There's many reasons, but one of the reasons is that
perhaps we've lost the people that would be susceptible to
such overdoses, meaning that those who are going to continue
to use ventanel until it kills them they're already dead,
which is incredibly sad, but it cannot be sort of

(58:04):
brushed aside.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
They call it depletion of susceptibles.

Speaker 5 (58:09):
Essentially the epidemic burning itself out as users either found
ways to survive the influx of fentiel or died. They
also say the wider availability of narcan, that's the lock zone,
is preventing people from dying of overdoses, and so people
that would have previously died before these drugs became widely
available are now surviving.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
So what are we doing in Colorado?

Speaker 5 (58:32):
Because I know we got all the harm reduction people
out there hand and out in narcan. We know Kyle
Clark walks around with it in his pocket just to
make sure if somebody needs saving. And I'm not knocking Kyle,
I mean, I just I don't live in a place
where I have to worry about that, so you know.
But state data is not good, not good at all,

(58:57):
And I love this. We need more data and research
to determine in what's driving the decline in debts, but
experts have few theories. They also say, look, we're finally
through the pandemic and people are able to go out
and about and be around others again. But I don't
know if that's it. I don't feel like that's going
to get it. Another health related story that I want

(59:17):
to share with you.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
Listen to this.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
The number of people around the world that have diabetes
has doubled over the past thirty years.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Doubled.

Speaker 5 (59:29):
More than eight hundred million people worldwide have diabetes. It
doubled from about seven percent to about fourteen percent during
nineteen ninety to twenty twenty two. The largest increase, no surprise,
coming from low and middle income countries. Now, we do
our part, but we're not even remotely the biggest part

(59:49):
of the problem here. In twenty twenty two, nearly sixty
percent of people living with diabetes were concentrated in just
six countries, just six countries, India two hundred and twelve
million diabetics, China one hundred and forty eight million diabetics.

Speaker 3 (01:00:10):
Then you get to the US only forty two million. Hey,
look at US.

Speaker 5 (01:00:15):
Pakistan is next with thirty six million, Indonesia next with
twenty five million, Brazil after that twenty two million. The
rest of the world combined has the other three hundred
and forty three million.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
So yeah, there you go. And I'm sorry I keep
mentioning the purple rain fun fact, but if I have
to know it, you have to know it. I'm so sorry,
so so sorry.

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
This person said, Mandy, you have no cause to complain
about what that pos does, not about his nominees or
his recess appointments.

Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
You voted for him.

Speaker 5 (01:00:48):
Doesn't mean I'm not gonna hold him accountable when I
think he's doing something wrong. I'm not a lapdog Trump
supporter who's gonna run around tell you everything, Sunshine and Roses.
I actually think those people are gonna end up with
a lot of egg on their face, is said and done.
And if I end up with egg on my face,
then I will admit it.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
But I don't feel like I'm going to.

Speaker 5 (01:01:08):
But if you think that I'm just gonna rubber stamp
everything Trump did because I voted for him, you are
not listening to the program that much.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
If he's doing something I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
Like, I'm probably more likely to talk about it than
if he's doing something I do like.

Speaker 3 (01:01:22):
Just the nature of the beast.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
Right, anyway, moving back to this, we are fat, We're
getting fatter, and now everybody's getting diabetes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
Now, it's interesting. I read this a long time ago.

Speaker 5 (01:01:35):
A lot of Indians are vegetarian due to religious beliefs,
they don't eat beef, and sometimes you just end up
kind of eating a vegetarian diet. But type two diabetes
is really rampant in India as we see here, and
part of that is because a vegetarian diet is often
very very high in carbs. This is one of those
things where I'm looking at it going okay. The foundation

(01:01:58):
of Chinese food is rice, white rice, not even like
whole grain rice. By the way, did you know this
whole grain rice only has one more gram of fiber
in it per serving.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
That was disappointing for me to learn, very disappointing for me.

Speaker 10 (01:02:12):
To learn.

Speaker 5 (01:02:13):
You think you get more for having that brown rice,
But these are diets that are foundationally built on white carbs.
And now we see high levels of obesity and diabetes,
and I think.

Speaker 3 (01:02:26):
That we need to pay attention to that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:29):
Lots of doctors are sounding the alarm and saying we
need to highlight more ambitious policies, especially in lower income
regions of the world, that restrict unhealthy foods, make healthy
foods affordable, and improve opportunities to exercise through measures such
as subsidies for healthy foods and free healthy school meals,
as well as promoting safe places for walking and exercising,

(01:02:51):
including free entrance to public parks and fitness centers.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Yeah, that all sounds lovely, but you're not going to
change people.

Speaker 5 (01:03:00):
Some people are going to take this seriously and they're
going to take control of their weight, and they're going
to make better choices, and they're gonna do the right things.
And some people are not, and I'm not sure you
could do anything to get them to make better choices.
I've had experiences in my life that made me realize
very clearly that you can just with the best intentions,

(01:03:21):
try and make sure someone has every opportunity to choose
the right thing, and still they will choose a thing that.

Speaker 6 (01:03:28):
Is not good for them.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
So yeah, So globally, men and women are about tide.
South Asia women.

Speaker 5 (01:03:42):
Are fatter, looking to see if there's any big In
East and Southeast Pacific Asia and the Pacific.

Speaker 3 (01:03:49):
The men are fatter.

Speaker 5 (01:03:50):
It's kind of interesting. Very low rates of obesity in
Sub Saharan Africa. Amazing what happens when you don't have
very much to eat? Recommending that, by the way, I
don't want to live in Sub Saharan Africa. It seems hot,
It seems like could be hard to make sure that
you had your basic needs met. So we're not alone

(01:04:12):
in our fatness, you guys in the United States of America.
So this text, why do people on the left assume
that because you voted for somebody, you love everything they're about.

Speaker 3 (01:04:23):
Because that's how.

Speaker 5 (01:04:27):
They are on the left, Like you're either all in
or you're all out, and there's no in between, and
you're not supposed to parse people as individuals, and you're
not supposed to examine various policy positions for yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:04:41):
I guess I don't know the answer to that question.

Speaker 5 (01:04:43):
I've seen that go in the other direction, though, I
will say that I think the better question is why
do hyper partisans assume that because you've voted for somebody
you love everything they're about, Because I definitely have seen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:55):
It go the other way as well.

Speaker 5 (01:04:56):
So when we get back, I have so many stories
on the blog today, it's not even funny.

Speaker 3 (01:05:03):
Oh we got to talk about women are sex striking?
For women?

Speaker 5 (01:05:08):
I mean for Kamala, their sex striking guys. You're never
going to be able to get your sexual needs men
anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
Nope, not when they do this. I'll explain all of
this next.

Speaker 5 (01:05:18):
Keep it right here on KOA. Thanks to the listener
who just sent me this about a study and I
don't know how I miss this. I'm very disappointed in myself.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
Maybe I did.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Back in fourteen twenty twelve when it came out a
study found that nations that use hygh frigutose corn syrup
in their food supply had a twenty percent higher prevalence
of diabetes than countries that did not use high frugutose
corn syrup.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
The analysis revealed that hypergiose.

Speaker 5 (01:05:44):
Corn syrup's association with a significantly increased prevalence of diabetes
occurred independent of total sugar intake and obesity levels. So
I've always hated hyprucittose corn syrup. I do everything in
my power not to eat any of it. But now
I'm gonna have to go back and read this whole
study and find out the rest of that story. Okay,
so let me get to this right now. So I

(01:06:06):
don't know if you know this, but there is a
group of liberal women who have decided they are on
a sex strike.

Speaker 3 (01:06:14):
Over the election. Ah yeah, ah yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):
They are gonna keep you out of their breeches, boys,
and they are gonna do that to punish you.

Speaker 7 (01:06:24):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
We have TikTokers saying things like, baby, if you wanted
to touch my body, you should have voted for it.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
Some women are going as far as shaving their heads
in an apparent attempt to repel any men who might
approach them while they're on a sex strike. Guys, be
grateful for that aspect, because now you can see them
coming or maybe not. Now, what's funny about this? And
I'm grabbing this from a column in The Free Press
that I linked to today on the blog. Whenever they

(01:06:56):
talk about sex strike, someone will mention Lisa Strata, a
play by Ristophanes in which the women of ancient Greece
swear off sex with their husbands until the men agree to.

Speaker 3 (01:07:05):
Cease fighting a bloody and fruitless war.

Speaker 5 (01:07:09):
Except back then, this was the only power that women had, right,
they had no power to flex anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
They didn't get to vote.

Speaker 5 (01:07:20):
They didn't get to participate in the process, they didn't
get to do any of that stuff. So the only
way they could flex was by not flexing in the bedroom.
Let's fast forward to today, where every man has a
little computer in his pocket where he can access pretty
much any sexual content he would like to access, and frankly,

(01:07:41):
based on the level of people that are not having
sex I would say they're taking advantage of that quite often.
So the threat of I'm not going to give it
up does not have the same punch that it used
to have. And it's just kind of gross because it
plays into one of the most I think.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Irritating tropes that was out there.

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
It's not so much out there anymore, but when I
was young, that was like they would use that in
like commercials like men do this, or She's gonna hold out.

Speaker 3 (01:08:13):
It's like, first of all, gross.

Speaker 5 (01:08:16):
Second of all, if you're in a relationship where anybody
is using sex as a weapon, you need counseling, and
you need it now, right now. That is, if that
is being wielded as a weapon in your marriage, and
by the way, guys can wield it too, just not
that often. Let's be real, that's not a healthy relationship.

(01:08:38):
It is not a healthy way to have a relationship.
So the fact that these Democratic women, they are also
saying they're not gonna date, they're never getting married, and
some of them are considering hysterectomies. You, guys, a hysterectomy
is not like getting your u of a sectomy for
a vaseectomy, tiny little incision, snip snip, that's it, You're good.

Speaker 3 (01:09:00):
A hysterectomy is.

Speaker 5 (01:09:01):
Like major surgery, major, major surgery. Guys don't even have
to be put to sleep for a vasectomy. So, yeah, Mandy,
most of the women on strike you wouldn't want to
be intimate with. And that's kind of I mean, that's
kind of the overarching feeling. It's like, if you're a dude,
why would you want to be with a woman who

(01:09:21):
was hell bent on emasculating you by saying she was
going to hold out sex to get her way. Think
about that, Think about how unflattering a depiction of a
woman actually is.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Oh, it's just gross, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:09:37):
The issue I have with them shaving their heads is now,
for those who have no hairdo to chemo, they are
lumped in together. Trust me, people will be able to
tell the difference, Mandy. Many guys would still nail a
bald chick a rod way in for all men.

Speaker 3 (01:09:52):
Arod is trying to wave this off. But no, he's
answering this question. Yes, what about super hot bald chick,
assuming you were not married to your lovely and beautiful bride?

Speaker 6 (01:10:02):
Passing it off?

Speaker 2 (01:10:04):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Really, Oh my gosh, don't be a baby.

Speaker 6 (01:10:07):
No, I would, I would, I would, I would go
with no.

Speaker 5 (01:10:10):
Okay, I'm gonna ask the text line hot. Now just
assume like super hot bald chick. Maybe she has alopecia.

Speaker 6 (01:10:18):
I don't know, but super hot thin like amber Rose.

Speaker 5 (01:10:22):
Very very feminine face. Yes, amber Rose has a very
feminine face. Hit the text line five six six nine,
Oh bald chick?

Speaker 3 (01:10:29):
Yes or no, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:10:30):
Sex strike means they won't need abortions. That is a
bright side, right, there text. You're a genius. Absolutely, Mandy.
How are they supposed to get all their abortions if
they're on a sex strike, that's a win for the unborn?

Speaker 3 (01:10:44):
Yes, yes it is. Are those the same women.

Speaker 5 (01:10:48):
Who are Wait a minute, are those the same women
now refusing alimony from their ex husbands?

Speaker 10 (01:10:53):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:10:55):
No, no, no, Mandy. So that's why my ex wife
wouldn't have sid F and the Yes, she's a leftist.

Speaker 5 (01:11:02):
What about tubal ligation tube side Not as big a surgery,
but still bigger surgery than a vasectomy. Guys, you guys
have it easy. Okay, the vasectomy thing, no big deal.
I know there's kind of an ick factor, but it
means that the woman that you love never has to
mess with incredibly invasive, incredibly horrible birth control. Again, I'm

(01:11:23):
just letting you knows. I see I just read this
at the same time. Is this cutting off your nose
despite your face? And I said, I'm just letting you knows.
Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take a time out.
When we get back. I want to talk about something
that happened a long time ago. It's called the Stanford
prison experiment. If you've never heard of it. It's fascinating,

(01:11:44):
very Lord of the Rings. But a new documentary series
gives it a new look.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
We're gonna do that after this. Keep it on KOWA.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:57):

my brother's podcast, He's got a great business podcast called
Escaping the Drift, and it was us talking about Trump's

(01:13:15):
plans to dismantle the deep State that he announced last.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
A year ago March. And I love all of them.
I love them all. So if you have a if
you listen to podcasts on I heard Spotify.

Speaker 5 (01:13:26):
I Escaping the Drift is the podcast with John Gafford
and I am the guest this weekend, and I'm just
gonna ask you, guys, who do listen to podcasts, I
really want this podcast to have the this listenership of
all of them, because then I could gloat to my brother.

Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
So if you do listen to podcasts, I don't care
if you listen.

Speaker 6 (01:13:46):
To your podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
It was on your podcast, bro, exactly, duh. I mean
you have siblings. Oh do you know what this is
all about?

Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
Yeah, the sibling rivalry stuff never fully dies, It wors,
it changes, it evolves, but it's always there.

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
I'm more respectful, it can be more cordial, but in
its core Yeah, it's.

Speaker 5 (01:14:09):
I just want to be able to say, Oh, I'm sorry,
who was your most downloaded podcast?

Speaker 10 (01:14:13):

Speaker 3 (01:14:13):
Meay?

Speaker 5 (01:14:15):
What tomorrow, I'll put all the links to all the
different platforms and if you want to help me out,
that would be fantastic. So I have gloating rights for
the foreseeable future and I would love that.

Speaker 3 (01:14:24):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
So I don't know if you guys have ever heard
of the Stanford Prison Experiment from nineteen seventy one. I've
actually talked about this on my show before because people
always bring it up in instances of violence where police
officers are involved. And the Stanford Prison Experiment was done
at Stanford University, hence the name by a psychologist named

(01:14:47):
Philip Zimbardo. He took a group of guys and created
a fake prison in the basement of Stanford University and
he wanted to examine how people would behave when given
a powerful position or a power less position. You were
either a prison guard or you were a prisoner, and

(01:15:10):
over the course of six days. It was supposed to
go longer, but they ended up stopping the experiment early
because some of the prisoners were not doing well. It
was widely publicized It has been talked about for fifty
years now because he said, doctors Embardi said. Doctor Zimbardo
said that this demonstrated that given a power dynamic like

(01:15:34):
a prison guard and a prisoner, people naturally fall into.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
These oppressor versus oppressed roles.

Speaker 5 (01:15:43):
And it has gotten so much play, It's been cited
so many times now people have kind of tried to
replicate it, but you can't because this experiment was so
controversial that it led universities to change the rules for
doing experiments on human beings. So this thing's been around
for a long time and a lot of people have
tried to figure out if it's accurate or not. Now

(01:16:08):
we have the Stanford Prison Experiment, Unlocking the Truth, which
is a new documentary from National Geographic Director. Juliet Eisner
was sitting around during the pandemic looking at psychological studies
exploring human nature, and she found the Stanford Prison experiment.
And this was all happening at the same time the

(01:16:29):
summer protests in twenty twenty were happening concerning police brutality,
and everybody was running around thinking the cops were just
randomly killing people, you know, all the time, which is
so not true, never has been. She realized as all
this was happening that the prevailing narrative was that if
you are in an authority position, you will naturally become

(01:16:53):
an oppressor. You will naturally become the person who kills
black people if they're unarmed.

Speaker 3 (01:16:58):
I mean, that's the suppace.

Speaker 5 (01:17:01):
So she decided to track down the people that actually
participated in the Stanford prison experiment, and she said it
was really hard to find them because they weren't named
in the study. They were just given a prisoner name
or an alias. She finally found them, most of them.
She tracked most of them down, and she said this,

(01:17:21):
every single time they picked up the phone, they were like, oh,
I'm so glad you called.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Nobody's called me in fifty years.

Speaker 5 (01:17:27):
And by the way, everything you think you know about
this study is wrong or the story is not what
it seems. So she was going to do this, this
documentary to debunk the experiment, but then while making it,
she was like, wait a minute, I think.

Speaker 3 (01:17:44):
We need to show the whole curve of this entire thing.

Speaker 5 (01:17:47):
So the documentary's structure is the first episode focuses on
just the standard account of the experiment that's been around
for fifty years. In the second it focuses on and
the criticisms, debunkings, and the accounts of the original participants,
many of whom have very very different takes on this.

Speaker 3 (01:18:08):
And a third episode is called A Beautiful Lie.

Speaker 5 (01:18:10):
It brings the original participants to Los Angeles for a
re enactment with professional actors, and it also includes an
interview with doctor Zimbardo himself. He passed away some time
ago at the age of it was like a hunter
or something. I don't know, but he's dead. He's no
longer alive. The reason I bring this up, first of all,
I've always found this fascinating. I've always found the concept
of what this doctor did in terms of human manipulation

(01:18:33):
very very interesting. Now, if I were to use my
powers for evil, then I would probably study this for
how to manipulate people. Because what we now know, according
to this documentarian, is that doctor Zimbardo who said he
just wanted to put everybody in these roles and watch
them fall back into these standard oppressor versus oppressed positions.

(01:18:54):
But the reality was he gave the guards information on
what they should be doing. He gave the guard's information
on how they should act. He gave the guards information
that influenced their behavior. So it wasn't that all of
these young men turned into horrible people that did horrible
things to these prisoners because they could. It was because

(01:19:15):
they were being encouraged by a psychologist who was looking
for an outcome that he wanted to have. And the
reason I'm bringing it up now is because think about
how many studies you hear quoted. I talk about studies
all the time. We got a study says, this, study
says this, this study says this. Bad science stays in

(01:19:36):
the public sphere. It never goes away. I guarantee you
that after this documentary comes out, and I'm gonna watch it,
I'm very interested in it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:44):
I can't wait to see it. I guarantee you when.

Speaker 5 (01:19:47):
This comes out, this guy's work will still be cited
in other people's research. It is impossible to root out
bad science when it is once it is accepted, and
the media loves to glom onto stuff like this ample
and then not talk about it when it's found to
be complete hokum. That's why I always say, like nutrition information,
all of this, take it with a grain of salt.

(01:20:08):
Find out first of all, who paid for it, find
out what their motivation was, and then find out how
they expect a profit from this when it's all said
and done.

Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
And that's the kind of thing that you need to
look at.

Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
It's a fascinating article just about psychology the unethical nature
of using human beings in psychological experiments. I got that
linked on the blog today. If you want to check
it out, we will be right back.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 5 (01:20:33):
Republicans are openly fighting on Twitter, and I got to say,
I just want to say I have Jarvis Caldwell's back
on this, because Jarvis Caldwell was a former Comms director
for the House, and I believe that Wait a minute

(01:20:53):
now that I said that, I want to make sure. Nonetheless,
he ran for the State House in El Paso County
on Monday. He posted on x that he received a
congratulatory call from Governor Jerry Polis, but not one word
of congratulations from either the state Republican Party or the
Olpaso County Republican Party, which William's ally, Vicky Tonkins leads. Now,

(01:21:18):
I believe that he was not one of the chosen
by the Dave Williams cabal of the Colorado Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (01:21:27):
But then here's where it gets great. Here's where it
just shows you.

Speaker 5 (01:21:30):
If you want to know what the Colorado Republican Party
is made of, just listen to this response.

Speaker 3 (01:21:37):
Are you still whining, Jarvis? Maybe Representative Bradley was right.
You need a support group who would have.

Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
Thought your self worth takes a hit when others don't
give you a pat on the back, getting real Stephanie
vigil vibes from you on this and then they put
a a funny gift, love me, Love Me.

Speaker 3 (01:21:55):
That is your Republican Party Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:22:00):
Getting into a bitch fight on Twitter with a newly
elected member of the House who is a Republican.

Speaker 3 (01:22:07):
This is why this entire organization is trash, absolutely trash.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
It didn't stop then then the piling, the piling just started.
Responding to that tweet, Caldwell responded that he had been
Wait a minute, hang on one second. The Republican Party responded,
at some point, get over yourself. We're recruiting and sending
volunteers to help cure ballots. You could have two more

(01:22:36):
State House colleagues, so maybe get off your high horse.

Speaker 3 (01:22:39):
Well, Jarvis.

Speaker 5 (01:22:39):
Caldwell said he'd been out helping cure ballots in House
District sixteen for the Republican challenger Rebecca Ketty, who now
leads Democratic Representative Stephanie Vigil by just twenty one votes
as of Tuesday, and Caldwell replied, didn't see any of
you there, and the fight is on.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
Let me just say this. Twitter did not treat the
Republican Party kindly. Hey, it is not good.

Speaker 5 (01:23:05):
No bueno, not a chance. So I am going to
find out. I'm gonna ask some people. I'm gonna find
out how real Republicans, nice Republicans who don't want to
attack other Republicans who just want to see I want
to find out how those people can take over the
Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (01:23:21):
I know who to ask.

Speaker 6 (01:23:23):
I just need to do it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
And then, my friends, we will execute our plan together.

Speaker 5 (01:23:29):
Today we will steal the moon other Republican Party maybe
maybe yep uh Mandy breaking RFK Junior to be HHS
Secretary RFK Junior, Let's see what pops up here. Trump

(01:23:51):
expected to select Robert F. Kennedy Junior to lead Health
and Human Services. That is gonna be interesting. I mean
that is going to be interesting. One of the things
in the deep state video that I talk about on
my brother's podcast today that's at the bottom of the blog.
Is the revolving door between government agencies and the companies

(01:24:15):
that they are supposed to oversee. Right, the companies they're
supposed to regulate. And one of the things that Trump promises,
we're gonna tell him they can't do that. We're just
gonna say no, can't do it, not gonna happen. So
that's interesting. Do you know what, guys, This Donald Trump
that we're seeing right now is so different than the

(01:24:39):
Donald Trump we had in twenty sixteen.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
There is no hesitation.

Speaker 5 (01:24:42):
The man understands the game now, he understands the rules,
he understands how it works, and he is taking no
prisoners as he just absolutely goes scorched earth on this
entire thing. So rfk akchs, I think he may struggle
to confirmed. I think that Robert F.

Speaker 3 (01:25:02):
Kennedy has some views.

Speaker 5 (01:25:03):
That are so far out the mainstream that they are
going to be Republican senators that are not comfortable confirming
him as HHS secretary. When we get back, we are
going to speak with Daily Caller reporter. Let me get
her name very quickly, Caitlyn Richardson about the Matt Gates nomination,
what that means, what's happened now, and what we can

(01:25:27):
expect next. We're going to do that right after this.
In the meantime, keep it on KOA Kitlyn Richardson. She
is with the Daily Caller News Foundation and a reporter,
and we're going to talk a little Matt Gates as ag.
I do want to throw two things out for you.
Republican David McCormick has won the Senate seat that was
being held by Senator Bob Casey. Republicans take another Senate

(01:25:47):
seat to pad their lead. And if you missed it,
Trump has announced rfk Junior for Health and Human Services Secretary.
So two of those things happened during the show. Just
want to make sure we get those in. Caitlin, welcome
to the show.

Speaker 11 (01:26:02):
Thanks so much for having me on.

Speaker 5 (01:26:04):
So give me your view on the Matt Gates appointment
to Attorney General.

Speaker 11 (01:26:11):
Right, So, what I've been hearing in what a lot
of people have been expressing is this was not a
pick that was on anybody's radar. I think there's a
lot of surprise surrounding this nomination and a lot of
questions about how it'll go, whether it'll whether he'll be
able to be confirmed in the Senate, whether the Epics

(01:26:31):
report will still come out. There's a lot of questions
right now surrounding this nomination. But I think what Trump
was trying to do in nominating Matt Gates again is
another question. But it seems to me from conversations I've
had that you know, Gates is an outsider. He's a disruptor,
and I think that's something that Trump is looking for

(01:26:54):
in the Department of Justice. He wants someone who he's
going to implement his agenda. He's going to be loyal,
and I think there's some concern that there might be
career staffs who are working against him, and he wants
someone who's going to be tough and able to manage
that and get through what he wants done.

Speaker 5 (01:27:14):
I think the second part of that is correct, that
he wants somebody who's going to be tough, who's going
to be strong, who's going to.

Speaker 3 (01:27:21):
Strip the doj of its left wing politicization.

Speaker 5 (01:27:25):
But I gotta tell you, I feel like Matt Gates
is the sacrificial lamb in this appointment cycle that he's
going to suck up all the negative oxygen and the
fact that he immediately resigned from the House just before
the House Ethics Committee report was supposed to come out.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
It just calls this whole thing into question.

Speaker 5 (01:27:43):
Although I also kind of feel like this is one
of those moves where Trump is utilizing a kind of
Trumpian strategicy, that he's using this appointment to get some
other something done, maybe a mass resignation at the Department
of Justice before the Attorney General takes over.

Speaker 3 (01:28:04):
I don't know, but this certainly seems like it came
out of left field.

Speaker 11 (01:28:09):
I think you're right. I think that's certainly a possibility
that I've heard as well, that nominating Matt Gates was,
you know, potentially a way to get another nominee and
later on, whether that be Mark Paletta or not, whether
or or someone else who has been one of the
more expected candidates. I think also this could draw attention
away from his other nominees, you know, with all the

(01:28:33):
focuses on Matt Gates and the media's attention and the
Senate's attention, I think some of the other nominees, which
were also unexpected, might not get that same criticism. And
that is a possibility. Again, we don't fully know what
President Trump was thinking when he puts his nomination through yet,
but there are certainly a lot of questions that were

(01:28:56):
made to be answered.

Speaker 5 (01:28:57):
Is there any scuttle but in DC, any room about
what's in that House Ethics report? Has anything come out
leaked or in otherwise that you know of.

Speaker 11 (01:29:06):
I don't know yet that it has leaked. Obviously, it
was supposed to. There's a vote was supposed to be
on Friday for it to come out, and as I mentioned,
who redistignation kind of through Revench in that. But it
does seem that we're going to see it eventually, Like
I think that it probably will leak. Obviously a lot

(01:29:29):
of Senators have interested in seeing that. I do everyone else.
So it's like we will. We'll know at some point,
but not now.

Speaker 4 (01:29:39):
Well.

Speaker 3 (01:29:39):
CBS News right now is reporting that.

Speaker 5 (01:29:44):
The Ethics Committee is going to be meeting to schedule
a vote on Friday to decide whether or.

Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Not to release its report.

Speaker 5 (01:29:52):
So we'll hopefully know something soon, and I'm guessing they're
going to act quickly if there's any there there, you
know what I mean, Like, if if there's something in
this report, then we're going to see it right away.
If it just peters out, if it just kind of
goes away, then I would think there wouldn't be that
much in the report. And they're using that we don't
know to cast doubt over Matt Gates. I mean, that's

(01:30:13):
the only thing that I could imagine. If they don't
release it, it just honestly makes them look kind of
guilty without actually proving anything, you know what I mean.

Speaker 11 (01:30:22):
Yeah, And I think this will be interesting to watch
play out. This is a very important appointment for President Trump.
He's expressed or close to having men have expressed a
desire to combat censorship, combat laws here that he experienced
for the past couple of years, to pardon January sixth, dependents,

(01:30:44):
and these are all goals that you want to accomplish
through DJ.

Speaker 10 (01:30:48):
So.

Speaker 11 (01:30:48):
Yeah, whoever, and that finally in this position is going
to be very important.

Speaker 5 (01:30:53):
Well, I appreciate the insight. This is going to be
a very interesting confirmation hearing to watch. Caitlin Richardson for
the Daily Caller News Foundation, Thanks for your time today.

Speaker 6 (01:31:03):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:31:04):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:31:04):
I'm curious, so I want to know I almost like
don't want to talk about Matt Gates. Anymore because I
feel like we are beating that dead horse. You know
how I feel about this pick? I think is terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:31:16):
But what about RFK, Junior for Health and Human Services.

Speaker 5 (01:31:20):
Now, RFK has long been a guy who is not
a fan of vaccines, and I think part of the
problem with the conversation about vaccines is that when you're
you're either all in or you're all out, and that's
not necessarily where we need to be. So I'm wondering

(01:31:45):
what you guys think about I like the RFK pick
because honestly, I think that the FDA and the USDA
have been wholly captured by big pharma and big food,
and knowing what we know about some of the crap
that's in our food and the fact that it's still
allowed to be in our food should make all of
us very very angry as we all get fatter and
unhealthier because of our food. So I'm excited about it

(01:32:07):
from that, I just I don't know if he's going
to get Isn't this weird? Like we should set up
a whole betting grid about whether or not people get
confirmed or not. Oh, I have an idea, you know,
we do the whole tournament in for men's college basketball.

Speaker 3 (01:32:24):
We do that whole bracket. We should do a bracket. Well,
how could you do a bracket though they wouldn't be
going against each other? How should we do this?

Speaker 5 (01:32:31):
Texters text me at five six six, and I know,
how can I.

Speaker 3 (01:32:33):
Make this work?

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
How can we have some kind of you know, like
grid guests or whatever about who is going to get confirmed?
This texter just pointed something out. I just saw big congratulations.
Let me read this text message and then you guys
try to figure out who sent this tweet. It says
I'm excited by the news that the President elect will

(01:32:55):
appoint r If Kennedy Junior to Health and Human Services.
He helped us to feed vaccine mandates in Colorado in
twenty nineteen and will help make America healthy again by
shaking up HHS and FDA. I hope he leans into
personal choice on vaccines rather than bands, which I think
are terrible, just like mandates. But what I'm most optimistic

(01:33:16):
about is taking on big pharma and the corporate ag.

Speaker 3 (01:33:19):
Oligopoly to improve our health.

Speaker 5 (01:33:21):
Before you mock him or disagree, I want to share
with you some quotes that if he follows through show
why I'm excited, and then there's quotes and stuff. But
who do you think just set that out on Twitter?
What Colorado politician do you think sent that out on Twitter?
So how do you think that's going to work? Text

(01:33:42):
me five six six nine. Oh that's five sixty six nine. Oh, Mandy,
I think you should just blow off whatever plans you
have chuck with Chuck and come see me. I think
you know that's a brilliant I didn't. No, no, you
know what I tell people all the time, I'm not
just married. I'm like super married because well, I think
we have a great relationship and I love my husband

(01:34:03):
and we have a lot of fun together. So I'm
super married right now. Vaccines should be a personal choice.
Yes they should, They absolutely should. I am a believer
in vaccines to a certain extent. What I think is
criminal is the fact that, since like nineteen seventy, we
have up the number of vaccines we give children.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
I think it's absurd that we give.

Speaker 5 (01:34:24):
Newborn babies, even newborn babies in distress Hepatitis B vaccinations
as soon as.

Speaker 3 (01:34:30):
They're born, like what the deuce?

Speaker 5 (01:34:35):
So I think we need to have a conversation. But
it needs to be honest. It was not Bobert. It
was not Bobert who put that out there. Many of
you are guessing correctly, was not Lauren Bobert.

Speaker 3 (01:34:48):
I'll tell you in just a minute. Mandy. I find
your comments on RFK very interesting.

Speaker 5 (01:34:53):
I remember you and most of the hosts on KAWA
pushing so hard for all of us to get vaccinated.
I'm so glad I never did anyway, go RFK. Maybe
the Damns will vote him in. I have walked back
publicly many many, many, many many many times on the show.
I've apologized for my urging people to get vaccines based
on the information that the drug companies released, which was

(01:35:14):
incomplete information. Hey Rod, are you aware of the most
mysterious song on the Internet? Do you know about this thing?

Speaker 6 (01:35:22):
Mysterious?

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
The most mysterious song on the internet?

Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
What's it?

Speaker 5 (01:35:26):
Was a song that somebody posted in a YouTube video
that no one could find out what the song was.
And it's been going on this whole like trying to
find out the song. I don't think it's a fifty
year mystery. I mean, it was recorded fifty years ago,
but it's not a fifty year mystery. We haven't had
the Internet that long, but someone finally finally figured it out. No,
it wasn't Dave Williams, Oh God forbid he posted anything

(01:35:49):
worth reading.

Speaker 3 (01:35:51):
No, it was Jared Polis. Jared Polus, the guy who told.

Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
You that if you didn't wear a mask, you know
you're a horrible person, called me crazy. Didn't we have
some vaccine dates in Colorado that led to a bunch
of healthcare workers getting fired?

Speaker 3 (01:36:10):
I mean, didn't we have that? Am I wrong? And
am I misremembering? As the politicians like to say.

Speaker 5 (01:36:20):
Police reposted things like this, We've got to get off
pesticide intensive agriculture and pesticide intensive agriculture though can.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
Be done better.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
Really is the reason that we produce so much food
here and why it's not expensive in some categories. He
also posted their entire departments, like the nutrition department at
the FDA, that have to go. They're not doing their job,
they're not protecting our kids. He says, they're dominated by
big corporate ag He's looking in the wrong direction. Polis

(01:36:55):
is right that our food sources are dominated by corporate America,
but it is not necessarily agg producers. It is big food, absolutely,
big food, Big food are the companies that used to
be all owned by different people but are now owned
a lot by tobacco companies. Now you're thinking to yourself,

(01:37:15):
why would a tobacco company buy food company? Well, they
are then making all of this food just as addictive
as their cigarettes were.

Speaker 3 (01:37:23):
So I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:37:24):
I'm looking forward to seeing what RFK Junior can do.
A lot of you on board, Mandy. Oh my god,
he's such as shape shifting fraud. You know, I'm pretty
impressed that I got shape shifting fraud out correctly, just
letting you know, letting you know that, of course, talking
about Jared Polis. Yeah, Mandy, did Jared wear the damn mask?

(01:37:49):
You selfish bastards?

Speaker 6 (01:37:50):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:52):
I just gotta remember what it was. Thank you for that.
Appreciate you, Hi, Mandy. I was born in nineteen sixty.

Speaker 5 (01:38:00):
I had the presidential Physical Fitness Organization where I earned
a ribbon for completing basically physical education.

Speaker 3 (01:38:06):
As it relates to RFK and vaccines.

Speaker 5 (01:38:07):
I'm a proponent of the typical FDA procedure, which took
ten to fifteen years to bring new vaccines to market.
Side note, I was able to find the same information
early on in the COVID years, but it has since disappeared.

Speaker 3 (01:38:21):
So there you go, Mandy. I'm super married too.

Speaker 5 (01:38:23):
I couldn't be happier and I'm a very lucky guy
being super Married's awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:38:27):
Amen.

Speaker 5 (01:38:27):
Yep, Mandy. Yachtlee Crue June thirteenth, twenty twenty five. The
Paramount just announced it's on sale Friday. And I hate
to say it, y'all, I am going to be in
Japan for Yatlee Crue. And if you have never seen
Yachte Crue but you like yacht rock, oh my gosh,
there's so much fun.

Speaker 3 (01:38:46):
It's one of the most fun concerts I've ever been
to in my life.

Speaker 5 (01:38:50):
YACHTI Crue. And yes, I'm saying Yachtlee Crue, Hi, Mandy,
Poms is what Motley?

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):

Speaker 8 (01:38:59):
Yaha? Lee?

Speaker 5 (01:39:02):
Why act l y yacht Lee crew c r E
W got it And they're wearing nautical outfits and hats
and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (01:39:12):
We had him in the studio, you know, he did,
and it was amazing and the show was so good,
so good.

Speaker 5 (01:39:21):
Yeah, this is all about Polist running for president. Everything
everything you see from our governor is about polist running
for president. You think it's oh, is it about Colorado? Nope,
because it's about Polis running for president. He just started
this new organization GSD Governor Saving Democracy with Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker,

(01:39:43):
who also wants to run for president. But I think
Jared Polis has done the math and is like, you know,
I think Pritzker's too fat to be president. I uh,
I don't think Pritzker stands a chance to incredibly wealthy
man on the same ticket. Nope, won't happen.

Speaker 6 (01:40:05):
No, no, no, Paulish Shapiro.

Speaker 5 (01:40:09):
Oh, by the way, FDA employees are threatening to mass
quit in protest against Trump picking.

Speaker 3 (01:40:16):
R FK Junior. So there you go. Got that going
for us.

Speaker 5 (01:40:22):
Now, got a couple of things on the blog that
I have not gotten to today. Hang on, let me
scroll down here to get to them. Really really, really
good story on uh well yesterday if you missed my
interview with doctor Joshua Long from the Near Death Experience
Research Foundation, super good.

Speaker 3 (01:40:43):
We put that on the blog today. Dude, How about this?

Speaker 5 (01:40:45):
The Broncos install the new playing field, Adam Schefter says.
Adam Schefter says they've proactively installed a brand new field
in season at Empower Field at Mile High.

Speaker 3 (01:40:57):
In the interest of players. Say, how do you not
like this ownership group?

Speaker 6 (01:41:03):
They're pretty good and awesome and cool and have a
lot of money. It's really cool.

Speaker 5 (01:41:08):
Imagine doing something incredibly expensive for players safety.

Speaker 3 (01:41:14):
Pretty remarkable.

Speaker 10 (01:41:16):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:41:16):
I also have one last story that I want to
get to on the blog today. Although I do kind
of want to talk about that Bronnie James story. You
know what, We'll talk about that tomorrow on a Friday,
because it's so much more than about sport. It's about
so much more than basketball. Just in case, I'll give
you a little preview. So Lebron James, soon after an
entirely mediocre season at USC his first in college, is

(01:41:39):
drafted by the Lakers in a pr stunt so Lebron
James can be the first guy to play on a
team with his son in NBA history. Bronnie isn't ready
for prime time, so they're like, look, you're not good,
We're going to send you down to the G League.
We just find out that he's in the developmental league.
But he's only going to be playing home games with
his team home games. He's not going to travel. He's

(01:42:02):
gonna be a part time player. This kid is going
to end up like washing out so hard. This is
the best example of NEPO baby privilege I have ever
seen in my life. Yikes, shameful, shameful. How do you
earn your stripes? How do you earn the respect of
your teammates? How do you be a good team player?

(01:42:24):
Apparently Bronnie Zad didn't teach him that, guess not, because
it's not not being happening there, it's not happening.

Speaker 3 (01:42:32):
And now it's time for the most exciting segment on
the radio of its guide and the day, Rob Dawson
in his house.

Speaker 6 (01:42:44):
Hey, hey, Rob a Rod's.

Speaker 3 (01:42:48):
Trying to commit us both to the RNC and the
DNC in four.

Speaker 6 (01:42:52):

Speaker 8 (01:42:53):

Speaker 6 (01:42:55):
Eight We're going. There's no trying. How do we do
We're gonna be uh yeah, oh yeah, I know. I
didn't want to make that phrase, but I was just saying,
maybe we won't all be in the same place. We're
going to be here now.

Speaker 3 (01:43:10):
We'll get together. It'll be a reunion. We'll get the
band back together. We'll get a van, you know, go
on tour. Be fantastic. All right, what is our dad
joke of the day?

Speaker 4 (01:43:17):
Please?

Speaker 6 (01:43:18):
Why did the pony ask for a glass of water?

Speaker 3 (01:43:23):
Pony asked for a glass of water? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:43:27):
Was horse horse that great?

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
Well done, Rob Dawson, Yes, all right?

Speaker 6 (01:43:36):
What are the days?

Speaker 7 (01:43:37):
An adjective adjective rattled r A D D l ed,
not rattled with t's rattled with d's.

Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
Well, I'm gonna say it's your your your rattled. What
is a part of space again? Adjective You're it's very confused.
It's you're confused.

Speaker 6 (01:43:59):
Uh like you're drizzled, like your drizzling glaze over something.
Oh I like that? Okay, many do you concur.

Speaker 3 (01:44:07):
Yes, I'll go with that.

Speaker 6 (01:44:08):
You're both wrong.

Speaker 7 (01:44:09):
I figured someone described as rattled is in a confused
or befuddled state.

Speaker 3 (01:44:14):
I literally just said confused.

Speaker 6 (01:44:16):
I was too good. I locked on Robs.

Speaker 3 (01:44:20):
Oh stop it. I literally had the right answer.

Speaker 6 (01:44:22):
That's unfortunate. You're still wrong somehow, No, it's not.

Speaker 3 (01:44:25):
I'm not still wrong.

Speaker 6 (01:44:26):
All right.

Speaker 3 (01:44:27):
How did the Spanish flu in nineteen eighteen get its name?

Speaker 6 (01:44:31):
I think I know that someone Spanish brought it somewhere.

Speaker 3 (01:44:35):
It wasn't at the same time as a war was it?

Speaker 5 (01:44:37):
Well, I think they brought it back from Spain from
World War One. But that's how it came back to
the Americas. Let's see here, the flu did not originate
in Spain. It was not limited to Spain. However, as
one of the only European countries to remain neutral during
World War One, Spain didn't have immediate blackout and could
report freely on the pandemic. It gave the world much

(01:44:58):
much the world a false impression that the flu had
started in Spain.

Speaker 7 (01:45:01):
There you get, huh, all right there, Uh, that's weird.
We reported on it, so we're going to name it.
I don't think that's the first.

Speaker 3 (01:45:10):
Time people heard about it. You know, they didn't hear
about it before that.

Speaker 7 (01:45:14):
All right, today, jeopardy category is famous. Last words, it's
the station at the end of a transport line, like
in Grand Central.

Speaker 3 (01:45:24):
Wait, what what is this category?

Speaker 6 (01:45:26):
Gas?

Speaker 7 (01:45:26):
Last words, it's the station at the end of a
transport line like Grand Central.

Speaker 3 (01:45:34):
What is a terminal?

Speaker 6 (01:45:35):
Correct Alright?

Speaker 7 (01:45:37):
Revelation contains the line I am alpha and blank, the
beginning and the end. I am alpha and blank, the
beginning and the end.

Speaker 8 (01:45:50):
I think.

Speaker 7 (01:45:52):
Wrong?

Speaker 6 (01:45:53):
Well, I am a correct but I wasn't sure.

Speaker 3 (01:45:58):
I wasn't sure if it was Zata or Ameica. So
thanks for taking the hit, Rob.

Speaker 7 (01:46:02):
Grammatically, this two word phrase refers to a period California

Speaker 8 (01:46:13):
Dang it?

Speaker 10 (01:46:14):
